A huge congratulations to Tanat Bandapraneat Year 6V (Jiro) for his Ice hockey team, the Canstar Rangers Navy, victory at the 2017 Thailand Ice Hockey Competition in the U10’s division. He played in the defense for this competition preventing the opposition from scoring at every opportunity.
If he keeps this up, we are sure he’ll go on to claim more victories in the future.
A huge congratulations to Mam Mam in year 3 for taking the Gold prize in the under 9 category for her violin ensemble, as well as, her sister Pam Pam in year 4 for taking the silver prize in the under 14 category with her violin duet at the Yamaha Thailand Music Festival 2018.
We are all extremely proud of them and are excited to see them succeed in the future.
What a fantastic end to the first half term. The Bee Musical on Thursday 19th of October was the culmination of weeks of dedication and resolve. We cannot express how proud we felt watching the Year 1 and 2 Busy Bee Production. All the children worked so hard practicing their individual lines and learning the words to all the songs. The play was outstanding and the children looked fabulous in all the different costumes. For those parents that were unfortunate enough to be unable to make the show here are some pictures. Once again well done to everybody involved and congratulations on a spectacular show!
On the 4th October the Primary students were visited by Ann Bryant, an international author, who wrote over 120 books of which 75% are children’s fiction and 25% are primary music resources. She has visited many schools worldwide, educating thousands of children on improving their writing skills as well as inspiring many of them to write their own stories.
Ann Bryant’s speech included a talk about writing, followed by some questions and the students were very eager to answer. She ended her visit reading many of her children’s lovely stories using rhythm and rhyme to keep the children enthralled and engaged.
Some students won signed book marks and even had the chance to get their own copy of one of her books signed.
Ann Bryant educated and entertained everyone and also helped children improve their own story writing. This was an experience the children will take with them to their future English learning.
Bobo is no ordinary whale; it is a symbol of change and the start of a new beginning. It is an inspiration that shows us, the predominant species since the beginning of evolution, that our everyday life actions can damage the environment around us and marine life as well. Bobo is here to remind us how important it is that we should not pollute the ocean and cause harm to the environment around us because animals should not pay the price for what us humans have done to the world.
Regent’s took a stand to enforce a club, the Eco Club that cultivates the minds of young students to advocate change throughout the school in order to ensure that the school contributes to preserve a healthy environment.The Eco Club has taken a few steps to create awareness on how our everyday blunders pose a threat to other lives around us.
The very first initiative was a warm welcome from the school extended to Bobo the whale. The Eco Club is still advocating students using bobo as a live example. Bobo has now found the warmth of a house in the confines of the secondary foyer. It is surrounded by flyers, posters and drawings, all creating awareness on management of waste. However, its farewell this Friday. It will be devastating to all the members of Regent’s.
The second initiative is the stand Regent’s has taken to ban plastic. Plastic cups will no longer be provided at water stations by the beginning of the next term. Students are required to bring their own water bottles instead, to reduce the use of wasteful plastics around the school.
This brings us to the third initiative that includes mass participation and enthusiasm of the students. The Eco Club is holding a competition for the design of water bottles. The winner will be showered with an attractive award and it will be Regent’s pride to have a water bottle of its own.
It is now the time that we bring change to Regent’s. Even though Bobo, the cute whale, will be leaving us soon, we still have to be aware that no matter how small our actions are, they could still impact our planet in which we are living in. From now on, the Eco club hopes and would like to encourage not only students, but parents and teachers as well to make small changes which will eventually add up to create a massive difference to help preserve the environment. Our school Eco club will continue to come up with more ideas and ways to inspire younger students to become more aware about what’s becoming of our environment as their future are in their hands as well as ours.
Because the world is ours and if we don’t save it, then who will?
Save BOBO, save the OCEAN, save our PLANET!
During the Wai Kru ceremony held last Thursday the Operation Smile Student-led Club raised an impressive amount of 2,500THB, by selling traditional flowers to parents and students.
Operation Smile is a non-profit organization that provides surgeries to children with cleft lips and cleft palates across Thailand and neighbouring countries. Regent’s has played an active role contributing to this foundation for many years. We will be having a lot more fundraising events this year in primary and secondary, so please keep an eye out for notifications around the parents lounge and student notices boards.
The Smile-Club would like to thank everyone who contributed and look forward to the future of Operation Smile in Regent’s.
The children wrote the play from scratch and performed it to Early Years – all in the space of one day!
The play was called “Friends Whatever” that helped them think about being kind to each other as well as having an adventure creating the play!
Primary students have been learning about endangered species. They researched and found out that humans are mostly the cause! They saw short videos of conservation projects and found out what we can do to help. Picking up litter in the playground made sure that our school environment is safe for all living creatures. They also made fabulous masks of an endangered animal.
Regent’s Primary Choir was selected to perform for the Queen of England’s birthday celebrations organised by The British Embassy on 15th June. Our students were invited to Grand Hyatt for the celebration where they performed beautifully on stage with the British Ambassador in front of a large audience. They have been working very hard perfecting the Thai Royal anthem and the British National anthem and they delivered a wonderful performance. Well done to all involved.
Regent's International School, Bangkok
